The snow that has blanketed much of the Middle East turned Cairo white on Friday the 13th - with local news reports claiming it was Egypt's capital's first snowfall in 112 years!
The city averages less than an inch of rain each year, and hundreds stopped their walk to work or school to snap pictures of the falling flakes, tweeting their delights.
In Jerusalem, local media reported that schools and roads were closed, and transport suspended after four inches of snow - the most since 1953.
Palestinian and Israeli children shaped clusters into snowmen across the divided capital, with boys shrieking with delight as they put the finishing touches to a frosty man outside the gold-domed Al Aqsa mosque.
"Last week, the chief rabbis asked Jews around the world to pray for rain in Israel since winter had begun with a dry spell," Jewish online magazine Tablet reported. "Apparently, it worked."
Snow, sleet and icy winds have covered Syria, Lebanon and Jordan, deepening the troubles of many war refugees, living in freezing tents. Many have melted snow on their stoves, their only source of drinking water.

6. The Mask of Pan
Archaeologists unearthed a giant bronze mask of the ancient god Pan at the site of ancient Sussita in 2015. Bronze masks of such size depicting gods are extremely rare to find as most ancient masks of gods are typically much smaller. Further excavation at the site done this year revealed more details as to the mask’s use. A large gate unearthed at the location leads experts to theorize that the mask must have been affixed to a wall and that the compound could have been a sanctuary in honor of the god.
5. AncientGovernor’s Palace
Four archaeologists uncovered parts of a Neo-Assyrian governor’s palace that were found to be 2,800 years old in 2008. The foursome revealed the palace amongst the ruins on Ziyaret Tepe in southeast Turkey. Parts of the courtyard area contained graves within which various bronze vessels, stone and ivory receptacles, seals and beads were found. The team also unearthed a clay writing tablet on which a Cambridge University archaeologist found a previously undiscovered language that an unknown people from the mountains of WesternIran likely spoke.
4. King David’s PalaceIsraeli archaeologists uncovered a huge palace and storeroom that they believe may have belonged to the man who Goliath. The collaborative excavation project took place at Khirbet Qeiyafa, which is around 20 miles southwest of Jerusalem, and spanned seven years. If the palace does indeed belong to the ancient king, it will reinforce the Bible’s suggestion that David was an extraordinary leader and not the small chieftain that some believe him to be. Authorities also discovered a pot at the site, and the inscriptions on it were translated in 2015 to reveal the name of one of King David’s, Ishboshet. While Ishboshet didn't necessarily own the pot, it shows that the name, which was previously only found in the Bible, existed in the early Israelite period.
3. The Burial Box Bust
Archaeologists or historians studying old items usually inform the Israel Antiquities Authority of new ancient discoveries. It was the police, however, who told the Authority of the discovery of 11 ancient burial boxes that are approximately 2,300 years old. Authorities arrested four suspects with the loot in Jerusalem in early 2014. The IAA already has over 1,000 of these old boxes in its possession, but each one is uniquely important and revealing. Authorities believe the thieves either stole the treasure from an ancient cave or stumbled upon them during a construction project.
2. 3,300 Year Old Coffin
The IAA was excavating near Tel Shadud before the installation of a natural gas pipeline in 2014 when they found a fascinating and unique cylindrical clay coffin surrounded by pottery, tableware, cultic vessels and animal bones. The skeleton of an adult found inside the coffin was buried alongside pottery, a bronze dagger, and a bronze bowl. The rare casket was the first of it’s kind discovered in half a century. The value of the coffin in ancient times points to the fact that the person buried within it must have been a very influential person and a member of high society. A scarab, encased in gold and attached to a ring was also found. Inscribed on the scarab was the name of PharaohSeti l who ruled Egypt in the thirteenth century B.C. The find points to Egypt's influence and control of the area in ancient times.
1. The Treasure of Nimrud
Nimrud is an ancient Assyrian city located in Northern Iraq. Archaeologists discovered tombs full of the gold of Assyrian queens within the old town in the late 1980’s. The trove of treasure, which was thought to be around 2700 years old, was taken to the Baghdad Museum. When Saddam Hussein fell out of power people assumed that looters would take the treasures. Luckily a team found the treasures safely hidden in the Central Bank of Iraq. While experts consider the treasures every bit as important and magnificent as the treasures discovered in King Tut’s tomb, they aren’t as widely known because they have never been displayed to the public for an extensive amount of time. RecentlyIsis, who has taken over the area in which Nimrud lies, has threatened to destroy the site and its remaining treasures. Luckily, many of the most coveted items were previously moved by authorities to other locations.

The giant camel spider, one of the worlds biggest spiders, lives in desert environments and comes from the Solifugae order of animals in the arachnid class.
Arachnids are joint-legged invertebrates that have eight legs and comprises over 100,000 named species including spiders, scorpions and ticks.
Also known as wind scorpions, and sun spiders, the GiantCamel Spiders are angry looking and imposing in size with some species growing up to 12 inches in length is non-venomous.
However, with its powerful jaws, it is capable of inflicting an extremely painful bite.
Their bizarre appearance can be startling to some, making them the subject of many urban legends including a 2004 email hoax with the infamous picture of soldiers in Iraq holding two fighting camel spiders.
They live in warm and arid habitats, and are omnivorous, primarily feeding on ground dwelling arthropods such as darkling beetles and termites. But they have also been known to feed on snakes, rodents and as seen in this video, small lizards.
The male camel spider flings the female on his back to transfer sperm and fertilize the eggs. The female then lays up to 200 eggs, typically only producing one brood of offspring a year. Compared to other invertebrates, the camel spider is fast on land with a top speed estimated at 10mph, approximately 1/3 as the fastest human sprinter.
Although relatively harmless, I would still not like to cross paths with this beast straight out of a 50's b-horror movie.

Iran is at an inflection point in its foreign and security policies. For the first time since the 1979 Islamic Revolution, Tehran deployed overt conventional forces to prop up Syrian PresidentBashar al-Assad. This is but one example of Tehran’s new thinking as it prepares to majorly shift its strategic posture, taking advantage of a changing Middle East and billions of dollars in new resources after the nuclear deal. AEIResident Fellow Matthew McInnis’ new monograph, “The Future of Iran’s SecurityPolicy,” provides policymakers with an analytical tool kit to better manage conflict with Tehran and understand and combat the Islamic Republic’s destabilizing agenda in the Middle East.
Join AEI as Lt. Gen.Thomas Trask and retired Vice Adm. Mark Fox mark the monograph’s release with a discussion on the future of Iranian power in the Middle East, the challenge it poses to the US, and how Washington can respond.

Cultural

East is the direction toward which the Earth rotates about its axis, and therefore the general direction from which the Sun appears to rise. The practice of praying towards the East is older than Christianity, but has been adopted by this religion as the Orient was thought of as containing mankind's original home. Hence, most Christian churches are oriented towards the east.

List of Middle-earth animals

This is a list of animals that appeared in Arda, the world of J. R. R. Tolkien's Middle-earthlegendarium. In addition, this list encompasses several living creatures that were referred to at some point by Tolkien as being beast-shaped Maiar (angelic beings) rather than proper animals; such cases are annotated.

In Quenya, an Elven tongue devised by Tolkien, the general term for animals, as distinct from plants (olvar), is kelvar.

Species

Crebain

Crebain (singular: craban) were a large species of crow that inhabited the land of Dunland during the Third Age. They were often used as servants and spies by various evil powers, notably Saruman. During the War of the Ring, a flock of crebain searched for the Ring-bearer.Crebain "crows" would be the regular plural form of Sindarin*craban "crow," a word which (while unattested) seems to have been adopted by Tolkien from Indo-European languages, particularly a pre-Germanic form *krabn-, whence the proto-Germanic*hrabnaz, from which descended both Old High Germanhraban and English raven.

6. The Mask of Pan
Archaeologists unearthed a giant bronze mask of the ancient god Pan at the site of ancient Sussita in 2015. Bronze masks of such size depicting gods are extremely rare to find as most ancient masks of gods are typically much smaller. Further excavation at the site done this year revealed more details as to the mask’s use. A large gate unearthed at the location leads experts to theorize that the mask must have been affixed to a wall and that the compound could have been a sanctuary in honor of the god.

Middle East Culture

It is more like super fine cement dust than sand. RARE & Deadly SANDSTORM Engulfs Middle East causing All Hostilities to Stop. "Weather Manipulation" people say.
"The storm, viewed from space by NASA, was particularly felt in Lebanon’s tens of makeshift camps where hundreds of thousands of Syrian asylum seekers live in dire conditions. Health officials in the Mediterranean island have warned that the concentration of dust particles in the air was many times above normal levels and advised people to limit their time outdoors. The giant storm has reportedly reached the Egyptian capital Cairo obscuring the skyline with a thick haze." (Link 1 below)

Giant Spider - Camel Spider in Iraq

The giant camel spider, one of the worlds biggest spiders, lives in desert environments and comes from the Solifugae order of animals in the arachnid class.
Arachnids are joint-legged invertebrates that have eight legs and comprises over 100,000 named species including spiders, scorpions and ticks.
Also known as wind scorpions, and sun spiders, the GiantCamel Spiders are angry looking and imposing in size with some species growing up to 12 inches in length is non-venomous.
However, with its powerful jaws, it is capable of inflicting an extremely painful bite.
Their bizarre appearance can be startling to some, making them the subject of many urban legends including a 2004 email hoax with the infamous picture of soldiers in Iraq holding two fighting camel spiders.

The snow that has blanketed much of the Middle East turned Cairo white on Friday the 13th - with local news reports claiming it was Egypt's capital's first snowfall in 112 years!
The city averages less than an inch of rain each year, and hundreds stopped their walk to work or school to snap pictures of the falling flakes, tweeting their delights.
In Jerusalem, local media reported that schools and roads were closed, and transport suspended after four inches of snow - the most since 1953.
Palestinian and Israeli children shaped clusters into snowmen across the divided capital, with boys shrieking with delight as they put the finishing touches to a frosty man outside the gold-domed Al Aqsa mosque.
"Last week, the chief rabbis asked Jews around the world to pray for rain in Israel since winter had begun with a dry spell," Jewish online magazine Tablet reported. "Apparently, it worked."
Snow, sleet and icy winds have covered Syria, Lebanon and Jordan, deepening the troubles of many war refugees, living in freezing tents. Many have melted snow on their stoves, their only source of drinking water.

A large gate unearthed at the location leads experts to theorize that the mask must have been affixed to a wall and that the compound could have been a sanctuary in honor of the god.
5. AncientGovernor’s Palace
Four archaeologists uncovered parts of a Neo-Assyrian governor’s palace that were found to be 2,800 years old in 2008. The foursome revealed the palace amongst the ruins on Ziyaret Tepe in southeast Turkey. Parts of the courtyard area contained graves within which various bronze vessels, stone and ivory receptacles, seals and beads were found. The team also unearthed a clay writing tablet on which a Cambridge University archaeologist found a previously undiscovered language that an unknown people from the mountains of WesternIran likely spoke.
4. King David’s PalaceIsraeli archaeologists uncovered a huge palace and storeroom that they believe may have belonged to the man who Goliath. The collaborative excavation project took place at Khirbet Qeiyafa, which is around 20 miles southwest of Jerusalem, and spanned seven years. If the palace does indeed belong to the ancient king, it will reinforce the Bible’s suggestion that David was an extraordinary leader and not the small chieftain that some believe him to be. Authorities also discovered a pot at the site, and the inscriptions on it were translated in 2015 to reveal the name of one of King David’s, Ishboshet. While Ishboshet didn't necessarily own the pot, it shows that the name, which was previously only found in the Bible, existed in the early Israelite period.
3. The Burial Box Bust
Archaeologists or historians studying old items usually inform the Israel Antiquities Authority of new ancient discoveries. It was the police, however, who told the Authority of the discovery of 11 ancient burial boxes that are approximately 2,300 years old. Authorities arrested four suspects with the loot in Jerusalem in early 2014. The IAA already has over 1,000 of these old boxes in its possession, but each one is uniquely important and revealing. Authorities believe the thieves either stole the treasure from an ancient cave or stumbled upon them during a construction project.
2. 3,300 Year Old Coffin
The IAA was excavating near Tel Shadud before the installation of a natural gas pipeline in 2014 when they found a fascinating and unique cylindrical clay coffin surrounded by pottery, tableware, cultic vessels and animal bones. The skeleton of an adult found inside the coffin was buried alongside pottery, a bronze dagger, and a bronze bowl. The rare casket was the first of it’s kind discovered in half a century. The value of the coffin in ancient times points to the fact that the person buried within it must have been a very influential person and a member of high society. A scarab, encased in gold and attached to a ring was also found. Inscribed on the scarab was the name of PharaohSeti l who ruled Egypt in the thirteenth century B.C. The find points to Egypt's influence and control of the area in ancient times.
1. The Treasure of Nimrud
Nimrud is an ancient Assyrian city located in Northern Iraq. Archaeologists discovered tombs full of the gold of Assyrian queens within the old town in the late 1980’s. The trove of treasure, which was thought to be around 2700 years old, was taken to the Baghdad Museum. When Saddam Hussein fell out of power people assumed that looters would take the treasures. Luckily a team found the treasures safely hidden in the Central Bank of Iraq. While experts consider the treasures every bit as important and magnificent as the treasures discovered in King Tut’s tomb, they aren’t as widely known because they have never been displayed to the public for an extensive amount of time. RecentlyIsis, who has taken over the area in which Nimrud lies, has threatened to destroy the site and its remaining treasures. Luckily, many of the most coveted items were previously moved by authorities to other locations.

The giant camel spider, one of the worlds biggest spiders, lives in desert environments and comes from the Solifugae order of animals in the arachnid class.
Arachnids are joint-legged invertebrates that have eight legs and comprises over 100,000 named species including spiders, scorpions and ticks.
Also known as wind scorpions, and sun spiders, the GiantCamel Spiders are angry looking and imposing in size with some species growing up to 12 inches in length is non-venomous.
However, with its powerful jaws, it is capable of inflicting an extremely painful bite.
Their bizarre appearance can be startling to some, making them the subject of many urban legends including a 2004 email hoax with the infamous picture of soldiers in Iraq holding two fighting camel spiders.
They live in warm and arid habitats, and are omnivorous, primarily feeding on ground dwelling arthropods such as darkling beetles and termites. But they have also been known to feed on snakes, rodents and as seen in this video, small lizards.
The male camel spider flings the female on his back to transfer sperm and fertilize the eggs. The female then lays up to 200 eggs, typically only producing one brood of offspring a year. Compared to other invertebrates, the camel spider is fast on land with a top speed estimated at 10mph, approximately 1/3 as the fastest human sprinter.
Although relatively harmless, I would still not like to cross paths with this beast straight out of a 50's b-horror movie.

Iran is at an inflection point in its foreign and security policies. For the first time since the 1979 Islamic Revolution, Tehran deployed overt conventional forces to prop up Syrian PresidentBashar al-Assad. This is but one example of Tehran’s new thinking as it prepares to majorly shift its strategic posture, taking advantage of a changing Middle East and billions of dollars in new resources after the nuclear deal. AEIResident Fellow Matthew McInnis’ new monograph, “The Future of Iran’s SecurityPolicy,” provides policymakers with an analytical tool kit to better manage conflict with Tehran and understand and combat the Islamic Republic’s destabilizing agenda in the Middle East.
Join AEI as Lt. Gen.Thomas Trask and retired Vice Adm. Mark Fox mark the monograph’s release with a discussion on the future of Iranian power in the Middle East, the challenge it poses to the US, and how Washington can respond.

Channels TV Travel Guide On A Voyage Across Middle East

Channels Television travel correspondent for the next few weeks bring to you her report on a cruise ship across the middle east aboard the Brilliance of the sea ship.

Top 13 Middle EastTravel Destinations according to Lonely Planet
13. Luxor, Egypt
12. Beirut, Lebanon
11. Istanbul, Turkey
10. Palmyra, SyriaPalmyra is known as Tadmor to the Syrians. Both mean the same thing - date palm. The name comes from the lush oasis adjacent to the city which is home to some million date palms. It is the only oasis in Syria and perhaps the only truly tourist town. Palmyra sits on the standard tourist trek around Syria and should be considered in this light.
9. Jerash, JordanJerash, a city in northern Jordan, is famous for its Roman ruins. The archaeological site is popular for tourists, second only to Petra.
Located some 48 km north of the capital Amman, Jerash is known for the ruins of the Greco-Roman city of Gerasa, also referred to as Antioch on the Golden River.
8. Baalbek, LebanonBaalbek is one of the most spectacular archaeological sites in Lebanon. Baalbeck or 'Heliopolis' as it was known is the site of great ancient temples built by the Phoenicians, the Romans, and other civilisations that have conquered the region and enjoyed the fertile soil of the Bekaa Valley. Some of the most celebrated temples are the ones of Bacchus, the Greek god of wine, and Jupiter, the Roman god of light, of the sky and weather.
7. Cappadocia, TurkeyCappadocia is an area in Central Anatolia in Turkey best known for its unique moon-like landscape, underground cities, cave churches and houses carved in the rocks. The Cappadocian Region located in the center of the Anatolian Region of Turkey, with its valley, canyon, hills and unusual rock formation created as a result of the eroding rains and winds of thousands of years.
6. Wadi Rum, Jordan
Wadi Rum is a spectacularly scenic desert valley in southern Jordan. This area of Jordan is quite isolated and largely inhospitable to settled life. The only permanent inhabitants are several thousand Bedouin nomads and villagers. There is no real infrastructure, leaving the area quite unspoilt.
5. Cruising the Nile, EgyptPerhaps the most popular activity in Luxor and Aswan is to do the Nile Cruise on a ship from Aswan to Luxor. It enables you to stop at each location along the Nile where you can see all the famous ancient monuments as well as experience being in the Nile River inside a five-star hotel boat.
4. Dome of the Rock, Israel
Dome of the Rock located in the middle of the sanctuary opposite of the Al-Aqsa Mosque, is probably the most known landmark of Jerusalem with its golden dome and octagonal blue walls that are adorned with Arabic calligraphy of Koranic verses. The interior of both the Dome of the Rock and the Al-Aqsa mosque are closed to non-Muslims, however, the plaza that they are situated in is open to the public.
3. Old City of Damascus, Syria
Established between 10,000 to 8,000BC, Damascus is credited with being the oldest continuously inhabited city in the world. The old-walled city, in particular, feels very ancient and largely consists of a maze of narrow alleys, punctuated by enigmatic doors that lead into pleasing, verdant courtyards and blank-faced houses.
2. Pyramids of Giza, Egypt
Giza is best known for the world-famous Pyramids of Giza, situated high on the desert plateau immediately to the west of the urban district. One of the premier attractions of Egypt, if not the world, the Pyramids of Giza represent the archetypal pyramid structures of ancient Egyptian civilisation and - together with the Sphinx at the base of the Giza plateau - are the iconic image of Egypt.
1. Petra, Jordan
Petra was the impressive capital of the Nabataean kingdom from around the 6th century BC. The kingdom was absorbed into the Roman Empire in AD 106 and the Romans continued to expand the city. An important center for trade and commerce, Petra continued to flourish until a catastrophic earthquake destroyed buildings and crippled vital water management systems around AD 663. After Saladin's conquest of the Middle East in 1189, Petra was abandoned and the memory of it was lost to the West.

Travel video about destination United Arab Emirates.
Situated on the Arabian Peninsula between the Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman, the United Arab Emirates is a fairy-tale of the One Thousand And One Nights.In just a relatively few years the region has been catapulted from the Middle Ages into the 21st century and it is now an international financial centre within an ancient desert region. It contains seven sheikdoms that are united both politically and economically. Dubai is a wonderful holiday paradise with a romantic desert and a long history in which the past unites with the present. Dubai is the second largest state in the United Arab Emirates and is situated on the north coast of the Arabian Peninsula. Fifteen kilometres from Dubai is the tiny Emirate of Sharjah where life continues according to age-old Arabian tradition. Tourism was once popular on this former pirate coast but the Saudi king subsequently prohibited the consumption of alcohol and thus the tourists stayed away. On the western side of theHajar Mountains an oasis village developed that contains more than two hundred springs and wells. The oasis was once frequently occupied by Saudi Arabia but in 1974 the International Court Of Justice in the Hague ruled against the Saudi occupation. Today, Oman and the United Arab Emirates share the nine oasis villages of the Buraimi Oasis and live together in peace. Abu Dhabi is the largest of the seven Emirates and means, Father Of The Gazelle, a name derived from an ancient legend. The seventy three thousand square kilometres of the Abu Dhabi region cover eighty-six per cent of the United Arab Emirates and in the 1960’s the city had a population of five thousand that has now grown to almost a million. As the oil supplies gradually trickle away the sheiks are becoming increasingly cautious with their spending and the oil boom has now been followed by tourism in this fairy-tale holiday paradise that is full of desert romance.

If you’d like to try something a little different and don’t mind paying a small fee, you can also attend local hotel beaches even if you aren’t staying there.
You can’t finish your Dubai sightseeing without a trip into the desert itself. Ride a camel, go sandboarding, or just stand out on the dunes and marvel at the beauty of it all.

Travel video about destination Arabian Desert in Saudi Arabia.
The oldest Arabian trading city, Dubai is a pulsating desert metropolis in the Middle East which is today synonymous with High Tech and Bedouins plus tall desert sand dunes, rocky terrain and the blazing sun.The Al-Fahidi Fort is Dubai’s oldest building and was built at the beginning of the 19th century and now houses the Dubai Museum. Narrow alleys lead through the Goldsuk, the traditional covered bazaar, in which shops and stalls are packed closely together, with merchandise worth millions glittering in tempting shop windows. But for those who wish to experience something a little different, the sand dunes of the desert are the perfect setting for DuneRiding, an exhilarating extreme sport that’s off the normal tourist trail. Setting off in convoy in four-wheel drive vehicles, at first the track is smooth, though undulating and, to get into the mood, this initial terrain is usually tackled with caution. And then it begins: as though on a continuous roller coaster set on sand, the horizon moves constantly as the ride follows deep ruts and then, at high acceleration, ascends high dunes, only to return downwards at stomach-churning speed. Then, in the mountains, the WadiWaterDrive follows craggy riverbeds and bumpy gravel tracks followed by further thrills in the fascinating Hajar Mountains. After all this, a camel ride turns the frenzied ridiculous into tranquil sublime and a Bedouin barbecue rounds off a perfect day in an ancient land that offers more than just a holiday!

The snow that has blanketed much of the Middle East turned Cairo white on Friday the 13th - with local news reports claiming it was Egypt's capital's first snowfall in 112 years!
The city averages less than an inch of rain each year, and hundreds stopped their walk to work or school to snap pictures of the falling flakes, tweeting their delights.
In Jerusalem, local media reported that schools and roads were closed, and transport suspended after four inches of snow - the most since 1953.
Palestinian and Israeli children shaped clusters into snowmen across the divided capital, with boys shrieking with delight as they put the finishing touches to a frosty man outside the gold-domed Al Aqsa mosque.
"Last week, the chief rabbis asked Jews around the world to pray for rain in Israel since winter had begun with a dry spell," Jewish online magazine Tablet reported. "Apparently, it worked."
Snow, sleet and icy winds have covered Syria, Lebanon and Jordan, deepening the troubles of many war refugees, living in freezing tents. Many have melted snow on their stoves, their only source of drinking water.

6. The Mask of Pan
Archaeologists unearthed a giant bronze mask of the ancient god Pan at the site of ancient Sussita in 2015. Bronze masks of such size depicting gods are extremely rare to find as most ancient masks of gods are typically much smaller. Further excavation at the site done this year revealed more details as to the mask’s use. A large gate unearthed at the location leads experts to theorize that the mask must have been affixed to a wall and that the compound could have been a sanctuary in honor of the god.
5. AncientGovernor’s Palace
Four archaeologists uncovered parts of a Neo-Assyrian governor’s palace that were found to be 2,800 years old in 2008. The foursome revealed the palace amongst the ruins on Ziyaret Tepe in southeast Turkey. Parts of the courtyard area contained graves within which various bronze vessels, stone and ivory receptacles, seals and beads were found. The team also unearthed a clay writing tablet on which a Cambridge University archaeologist found a previously undiscovered language that an unknown people from the mountains of WesternIran likely spoke.
4. King David’s PalaceIsraeli archaeologists uncovered a huge palace and storeroom that they believe may have belonged to the man who Goliath. The collaborative excavation project took place at Khirbet Qeiyafa, which is around 20 miles southwest of Jerusalem, and spanned seven years. If the palace does indeed belong to the ancient king, it will reinforce the Bible’s suggestion that David was an extraordinary leader and not the small chieftain that some believe him to be. Authorities also discovered a pot at the site, and the inscriptions on it were translated in 2015 to reveal the name of one of King David’s, Ishboshet. While Ishboshet didn't necessarily own the pot, it shows that the name, which was previously only found in the Bible, existed in the early Israelite period.
3. The Burial Box Bust
Archaeologists or historians studying old items usually inform the Israel Antiquities Authority of new ancient discoveries. It was the police, however, who told the Authority of the discovery of 11 ancient burial boxes that are approximately 2,300 years old. Authorities arrested four suspects with the loot in Jerusalem in early 2014. The IAA already has over 1,000 of these old boxes in its possession, but each one is uniquely important and revealing. Authorities believe the thieves either stole the treasure from an ancient cave or stumbled upon them during a construction project.
2. 3,300 Year Old Coffin
The IAA was excavating near Tel Shadud before the installation of a natural gas pipeline in 2014 when they found a fascinating and unique cylindrical clay coffin surrounded by pottery, tableware, cultic vessels and animal bones. The skeleton of an adult found inside the coffin was buried alongside pottery, a bronze dagger, and a bronze bowl. The rare casket was the first of it’s kind discovered in half a century. The value of the coffin in ancient times points to the fact that the person buried within it must have been a very influential person and a member of high society. A scarab, encased in gold and attached to a ring was also found. Inscribed on the scarab was the name of PharaohSeti l who ruled Egypt in the thirteenth century B.C. The find points to Egypt's influence and control of the area in ancient times.
1. The Treasure of Nimrud
Nimrud is an ancient Assyrian city located in Northern Iraq. Archaeologists discovered tombs full of the gold of Assyrian queens within the old town in the late 1980’s. The trove of treasure, which was thought to be around 2700 years old, was taken to the Baghdad Museum. When Saddam Hussein fell out of power people assumed that looters would take the treasures. Luckily a team found the treasures safely hidden in the Central Bank of Iraq. While experts consider the treasures every bit as important and magnificent as the treasures discovered in King Tut’s tomb, they aren’t as widely known because they have never been displayed to the public for an extensive amount of time. RecentlyIsis, who has taken over the area in which Nimrud lies, has threatened to destroy the site and its remaining treasures. Luckily, many of the most coveted items were previously moved by authorities to other locations.

Giant Spider - Camel Spider in Iraq

The giant camel spider, one of the worlds biggest spiders, lives in desert environments and comes from the Solifugae order of animals in the arachnid class.
Arachnids are joint-legged invertebrates that have eight legs and comprises over 100,000 named species including spiders, scorpions and ticks.
Also known as wind scorpions, and sun spiders, the GiantCamel Spiders are angry looking and imposing in size with some species growing up to 12 inches in length is non-venomous.
However, with its powerful jaws, it is capable of inflicting an extremely painful bite.
Their bizarre appearance can be startling to some, making them the subject of many urban legends including a 2004 email hoax with the infamous picture of soldiers in Iraq holding two fighting camel spiders.
They live in warm and arid habitats, and are omnivorous, primarily feeding on ground dwelling arthropods such as darkling beetles and termites. But they have also been known to feed on snakes, rodents and as seen in this video, small lizards.
The male camel spider flings the female on his back to transfer sperm and fertilize the eggs. The female then lays up to 200 eggs, typically only producing one brood of offspring a year. Compared to other invertebrates, the camel spider is fast on land with a top speed estimated at 10mph, approximately 1/3 as the fastest human sprinter.
Although relatively harmless, I would still not like to cross paths with this beast straight out of a 50's b-horror movie.

The future of Iranian power in the Middle East | LIVE STREAM

Iran is at an inflection point in its foreign and security policies. For the first time since the 1979 Islamic Revolution, Tehran deployed overt conventional forces to prop up Syrian PresidentBashar al-Assad. This is but one example of Tehran’s new thinking as it prepares to majorly shift its strategic posture, taking advantage of a changing Middle East and billions of dollars in new resources after the nuclear deal. AEIResident Fellow Matthew McInnis’ new monograph, “The Future of Iran’s SecurityPolicy,” provides policymakers with an analytical tool kit to better manage conflict with Tehran and understand and combat the Islamic Republic’s destabilizing agenda in the Middle East.
Join AEI as Lt. Gen.Thomas Trask and retired Vice Adm. Mark Fox mark the monograph’s release with a discussion on the future of Iranian power in the Middle East, the challenge it poses to the US, and how Washington can respond.

Top 13 Middle East Travel Destinations

Top 13 Middle EastTravel Destinations according to Lonely Planet
13. Luxor, Egypt
12. Beirut, Lebanon
11. Istanbul, Turkey
10. Palmyra, SyriaPalmyra is known as Tadmor to the Syrians. Both mean the same thing - date palm. The name comes from the lush oasis adjacent to the city which is home to some million date palms. It is the only oasis in Syria and perhaps the only truly tourist town. Palmyra sits on the standard tourist trek around Syria and should be considered in this light.
9. Jerash, JordanJerash, a city in northern Jordan, is famous for its Roman ruins. The archaeological site is popular for tourists, second only to Petra.
Located some 48 km north of the capital Amman, Jerash is known for the ruins of the Greco-Roman city of Gerasa, also referred to as Antioch on the Golden River.
8. Baalbek, LebanonBaalbek is one of the most spectacular archaeological sites in Lebanon. Baalbeck or 'Heliopolis' as it was known is the site of great ancient temples built by the Phoenicians, the Romans, and other civilisations that have conquered the region and enjoyed the fertile soil of the Bekaa Valley. Some of the most celebrated temples are the ones of Bacchus, the Greek god of wine, and Jupiter, the Roman god of light, of the sky and weather.
7. Cappadocia, TurkeyCappadocia is an area in Central Anatolia in Turkey best known for its unique moon-like landscape, underground cities, cave churches and houses carved in the rocks. The Cappadocian Region located in the center of the Anatolian Region of Turkey, with its valley, canyon, hills and unusual rock formation created as a result of the eroding rains and winds of thousands of years.
6. Wadi Rum, Jordan
Wadi Rum is a spectacularly scenic desert valley in southern Jordan. This area of Jordan is quite isolated and largely inhospitable to settled life. The only permanent inhabitants are several thousand Bedouin nomads and villagers. There is no real infrastructure, leaving the area quite unspoilt.
5. Cruising the Nile, EgyptPerhaps the most popular activity in Luxor and Aswan is to do the Nile Cruise on a ship from Aswan to Luxor. It enables you to stop at each location along the Nile where you can see all the famous ancient monuments as well as experience being in the Nile River inside a five-star hotel boat.
4. Dome of the Rock, Israel
Dome of the Rock located in the middle of the sanctuary opposite of the Al-Aqsa Mosque, is probably the most known landmark of Jerusalem with its golden dome and octagonal blue walls that are adorned with Arabic calligraphy of Koranic verses. The interior of both the Dome of the Rock and the Al-Aqsa mosque are closed to non-Muslims, however, the plaza that they are situated in is open to the public.
3. Old City of Damascus, Syria
Established between 10,000 to 8,000BC, Damascus is credited with being the oldest continuously inhabited city in the world. The old-walled city, in particular, feels very ancient and largely consists of a maze of narrow alleys, punctuated by enigmatic doors that lead into pleasing, verdant courtyards and blank-faced houses.
2. Pyramids of Giza, Egypt
Giza is best known for the world-famous Pyramids of Giza, situated high on the desert plateau immediately to the west of the urban district. One of the premier attractions of Egypt, if not the world, the Pyramids of Giza represent the archetypal pyramid structures of ancient Egyptian civilisation and - together with the Sphinx at the base of the Giza plateau - are the iconic image of Egypt.
1. Petra, Jordan
Petra was the impressive capital of the Nabataean kingdom from around the 6th century BC. The kingdom was absorbed into the Roman Empire in AD 106 and the Romans continued to expand the city. An important center for trade and commerce, Petra continued to flourish until a catastrophic earthquake destroyed buildings and crippled vital water management systems around AD 663. After Saladin's conquest of the Middle East in 1189, Petra was abandoned and the memory of it was lost to the West.

Iran Vacation Travel Video Guide • Great Destinations

Iran – formerly Persia - is the biggest country of the Middle East. Due to the fact that sky-high snowy mountains, extended deserts, verdant oases, turquoise cupola mosques and cultural and architectural relic sites of World Heritage are waiting for all visitors it can be a very desirable destination even for tourists who continuously look for the new and varied.In Tehran the luxurious palaces of Persian shahs, the Museum of Archaeology and the Museum of Carpets and Rugs are the sights that “must” be seen. Yazd and Kerman is well-known for their mosques and bazaars, Naqsh-e Rustam is for its rock-hewn tombs, Rayen and Persepolis are for the remains of their palaces and castles from the time of the Persian Empire. The two most beautiful cities of Iran are the splendidly situated Shiraz and Isfahan that is full of vitality.

United Arab Emirates Vacation Travel Video Guide

Travel video about destination United Arab Emirates.
Situated on the Arabian Peninsula between the Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman, the United Arab Emirates is a fairy-tale of the One Thousand And One Nights.In just a relatively few years the region has been catapulted from the Middle Ages into the 21st century and it is now an international financial centre within an ancient desert region. It contains seven sheikdoms that are united both politically and economically. Dubai is a wonderful holiday paradise with a romantic desert and a long history in which the past unites with the present. Dubai is the second largest state in the United Arab Emirates and is situated on the north coast of the Arabian Peninsula. Fifteen kilometres from Dubai is the tiny Emirate of Sharjah where life continues according to age-old Arabian tradition. Tourism was once popular on this former pirate coast but the Saudi king subsequently prohibited the consumption of alcohol and thus the tourists stayed away. On the western side of theHajar Mountains an oasis village developed that contains more than two hundred springs and wells. The oasis was once frequently occupied by Saudi Arabia but in 1974 the International Court Of Justice in the Hague ruled against the Saudi occupation. Today, Oman and the United Arab Emirates share the nine oasis villages of the Buraimi Oasis and live together in peace. Abu Dhabi is the largest of the seven Emirates and means, Father Of The Gazelle, a name derived from an ancient legend. The seventy three thousand square kilometres of the Abu Dhabi region cover eighty-six per cent of the United Arab Emirates and in the 1960’s the city had a population of five thousand that has now grown to almost a million. As the oil supplies gradually trickle away the sheiks are becoming increasingly cautious with their spending and the oil boom has now been followed by tourism in this fairy-tale holiday paradise that is full of desert romance.

Dubai Vacation Travel Guide | Expedia

http://www.expedia.com/Dubai-Emirate.d1079.Destination-Travel-Guides
Come to Dubai, the ancient City of Gold, for your next vacation.
Modernity and antiquity collide in this vibrant city. Shop at the same spice market locals have been visiting for generations, then visit the stores in the Gold Souk, a jewelry-centered traditional marketplace. For a more modern shopping experience, go to the Dubai Mall, home to over 1200 stores, an underwater zoo, and KidZania®, a “city” where children can roleplay various careers.
To soak up some of the legendary Dubai sunshine, simply step outside. Take in the view of the city from the observation deck of the Burj Khalifa, the tallest building in the world. Continue your Dubai tour by wandering through the exotic buildings and resorts, or visit some of the public beaches. If you’d like to try something a little different and don’t mind paying a small fee, you can also attend local hotel beaches even if you aren’t staying there.
You can’t finish your Dubai sightseeing without a trip into the desert itself. Ride a camel, go sandboarding, or just stand out on the dunes and marvel at the beauty of it all.

Arabian Desert Safari Vacation Travel Video Guide

Travel video about destination Arabian Desert in Saudi Arabia.
The oldest Arabian trading city, Dubai is a pulsating desert metropolis in the Middle East which is today synonymous with High Tech and Bedouins plus tall desert sand dunes, rocky terrain and the blazing sun.The Al-Fahidi Fort is Dubai’s oldest building and was built at the beginning of the 19th century and now houses the Dubai Museum. Narrow alleys lead through the Goldsuk, the traditional covered bazaar, in which shops and stalls are packed closely together, with merchandise worth millions glittering in tempting shop windows. But for those who wish to experience something a little different, the sand dunes of the desert are the perfect setting for DuneRiding, an exhilarating extreme sport that’s off the normal tourist trail. Setting off in convoy in four-wheel drive vehicles, at first the track is smooth, though undulating and, to get into the mood, this initial terrain is usually tackled with caution. And then it begins: as though on a continuous roller coaster set on sand, the horizon moves constantly as the ride follows deep ruts and then, at high acceleration, ascends high dunes, only to return downwards at stomach-churning speed. Then, in the mountains, the WadiWaterDrive follows craggy riverbeds and bumpy gravel tracks followed by further thrills in the fascinating Hajar Mountains. After all this, a camel ride turns the frenzied ridiculous into tranquil sublime and a Bedouin barbecue rounds off a perfect day in an ancient land that offers more than just a holiday!
